4323. OH, I GUESS

OH, I GUESS
I've taken all this time to let
things rub off on me - like the
Red River Valley, I feel lonesome
with a horse running away. Some old
Ranger captain comes by, to try talking
to me - all his sharpshooter and rifleman
stuff, the horse and those spurs. My own
ways, by comparison, seem so milky white
and tenderfoot. He lights up a small cigar with
a match he strikes on his boot. I look up to see:
an eagle, way overhead, flying off. Or at least
that's what I thought I saw. Oh, I guess.
